Football Autographs

Post by 20vt »

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone could help me?

I want to know whether it would be best to write to the club asking for any players autographs or whether to write to each individual player c/o the club?

Thanks,

Dave 8)

I'm not sure what you mean but to club is best, for example,

Michael Owen
St James' Park
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE1 4ST

Hope this helps and good luck. {up}

I have done it this way to Aston Villa and have had successes from David O'Leary and James Milner plus I am still waiting from Milan Baros, Kevin Phillips and Lee Hendrie.

Good advice {up}

Also it is worth trying via their agent. A lot of football (soccer) players are repped by Sfx Sports in the UK. Check out their website at: http://www.sfxsports.co.uk

What I meant was, if I wanted a group of footballers autographs, would I write to the club asking for them or, each player individually?

Thanks,

Hi Dave {up}

If you mean you want to get a single item (photo etc) signed by a whole team, you best bet is to write to the club and ask them for that.

If you try to get each member to sign individually then you always risk losing your "partly signed" item each time you send it off :?

If you are collecting for charity, try asking your chosen club for a team signed shirt (or whatever you want). From experience it is better to ask for something and be turned down, than not to ask at all!!!!!

More often than not you get lucky :P

Thanks for your help :).

Also, if I want a few items from different members of a club should I ask each player individually, or ask the club for them all. For example:

If I wanted a signed photo from, Shearer, Owen and Ameobi. Would it be best to write to the club asking for their autographs or to each player, c/o the club?

Cheers,

Dave
